THE WHAT AND HOW OF THE ECF. ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN BACKING COMMUNITY PROJECTS SINCE 1997

The Edwardsville Community Foundation (ECF) has been serving the communities within the District 7 boundaries since 1997. Since our inception we have facilitated more than $6.2 million to charitable causes. We’ve supported a variety of projects you might be familiar with, such as Ryan Garb’s Gold Star Memorial, the Leon Corlew Park and Splash Pad and The Gardens at SIUE. Most recently, we’ve supported Schon Park in Glen Carbon and Kelan’s Swing in Township Park.

The Edwardsville Community Foundation, ECF, was established in 1997 by a group of local business and community leaders. They founded the ECF to create an organization where people could donate money that would directly impact the quality of life in the local communities.
